Dear colleagues,
We would like to invite you to an NSF-sponsored workshop to discuss, plan and define the conceptual basis for developing an IODP Drilling Proposal to investigate the Brazilian Equatorial Margin. This workshop is intended to move ahead with this exciting possibility
and facilitate discussion among the scientific community on ways to use the ocean drilling facility to explore the processes behind a) the opening and expansion of the South Atlantic Ocean, b) the short- and long-term changes in global climate . The workshop
will be held in Maresias, São Paulo, Brazil, from the 4th to the 6th of February 2014.
Please find attached the Workshop Announcement and consider if you would like to contribute to this process.
To attend the workshop please send a pre-registration email with your name, affiliation and a short reason of interest to
